I was surfing around the forum for help on converting Avi to kvcd, but all i could find were very outdated guides that didn't help me much. So now that i actually
know how to convert an avi to kvcd, I decided to make a easy and updated guide.

Some patience! 
It should now look something like the picture below.
Settings
TMPGEnc
- Open up your TMPGEnc folder and double click the ReadAVS folder.
- Read the readme.txt << (All of it)
Virtual Dub Mod
- Open up your Virtual Dub Mod folder and double click "AuxSetup.exe".
- Then click Install Handler and you're done!
Scripts
- Alright go to C:\K (or wherever you extracted everything)[/url]
- Right click anywhere in the folder
- Click New >> Text Document and rename it as AviT.
avs
- Make another new text file and this time name it as Avi.
avs
- Click Avi.avs and copy and paste this into it.
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\K\Atc.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\Convolution3DYV12.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\DctFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\Deen.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\Undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\K\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
AviSource("",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Deen()
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)
ConvertToYV12()
- Now open
AviT.avs and copy and paste as you did before.
-
Under the line
LoadPlugin("C:\K\MPEG2Dec3.dll") add the line
LoadPlugin("C:\K\Sampler.dll").
- At the very end,
under ConvertToYV12() add the line
Sampler().
(Warning: The scripts need to have file resolutions divisible by 4 so check
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7223 and make sure you did it right!)
- Now you have both your scripts ready!!
Video & Audio Mumbo Jumbo
Error Checking
- Open up DivFix++ and locate your file and (Make sure you backup the original file)
- Make sure "Cut Out Bad Parts" is check and click Check Errors.
- Done!
VirtualDub Mod
- Open up VirtualDub Mod and locate your
fixed .avi file.
- (If a message pops up asking you to reprocess the file header click No)
- Choose Video > Direct Stream copy
- Choose Streams > Stream list
- Now right click the audio stream you see and select Full Processing Mode
- Then click Save Wav on the right.
- After the Wav has been extracted, click
Disable on the audio stream.
- Then click OK and you're back to the main Vdub Screen.
- Making sure that the Video setting is still on
Direct Stream Copy, click File > Save as "filens" < Just an example (ns = no sound).
- Done!
PARanoia
- Open up PARanoia and open up your
soundless .avi file.
- The file will start playing, but you can click pause.
- On the top menu choose "Configure Avisynth Commands" > "Use Resizer" > "LancosResize"
- Then on the Resizing window on the left choose "NTSC 352 X 240"
- You can tick the mark where it says "Overlayed" also
- On the top menu choose "Avisynth Script" > "Show/Preview/Safe Script".
- Copy and paste this script into both your Avi.avs and AviT.avs.
- Basically instead of looking like
Code:
AviSource("",false)
it should look like
Code:
AviSource("C:\K\1.avi",false)
LanczosResize(352,240,0,0,320,240)
Headac3he
- Open up Headac3he and browse to your
.wav file.
- Set the "Destination Format" as
MP2.
- (Hint: If you don't know which is your .wav file on the folder's top menu choose Tools > Folder Options > View and
uncheck Hide extensions for known file types)
- Check the tick mark "
Resample to" and it should say "
44.1 KHz"
- Click the Options button twice and set the "Channel Mode" to
Dual Channel
- Then set the "Bitrate" to
112 or 128. (I usually do 112; its fine)
- Click Start and wait!
Sample and Final Video Encoding
- Alright, we have the audio file all done, now it is time for the video.
- Open up TMPGEnc and get hold of a calculator.
- In this guide, I am assuming that you want this video to fit on 1 700MB Cd so to do so follow the calculations
kwag taught me below.
- Open up VirtualDub Mod and open up your .avi file. (Audio doesn't matter)
- Move the slider on the bottom all the way to the right and write down the number of
frames and the length of the movie in
minutes.
-
Divide the
# of frames by
the length in minutes.
-
Divide the number you got above by the magic number
24.
- We'll call this number
A.
-
Copy and paste this number or write it down somewhere!
- Now
subtract your Audio File's size from 800 so (800 - Audio Size)
- We'll call this number
B.
-
Divide A by B so (A/B) and this will = your magic
sample size number which we'll call
C!.
- Open up AviT.avs with TMPGEnc and load up the template "KVCD-CQ-352x240-_NTSCFilm_-PLUS.mcf".
- Click the Setting > Advanced and in the "Source Aspect Ratio:" choose "16:9 Display" (If your TV is something different, choose accordingly)
- Click Ok, and click Start!.
- Wait and see what your sample file's size is.
- If it is
higher than
C,
lower the CQ value.
- If it is
lower than
C,
higher the CQ value.
- Do this accordingly till you get one that fits. (Shouldn't take but 5/10 mins)
- Once you get the correct CQ Value, open up
Avi.avs and set the settings accordingly to the Test results so the video file will fit on the CD.
- Then click start and wait it out.
Mplex
- When TMPGEnc is done, open up Mplex and its time to join the audio and video files together!
- Set the "Output MPEG File" for the multiplexed file as anything you want.
- For "Input MPEG Video File" locate your .
m1v file TMPGEnc spat out after encoding.
- For the "Input MPEG Audio File 1:" browse to your
.mp2 file.
(Hint: If it doesn't show up just browse to the right folder and type the file name in)
- Now for the settings

^^The above has been copied and pasted from
Black Prince's Guide due to tired fingers and a fear of Carpal Tunnel.
- Now you have your kvcd file! w00t.
- To burn just search around and you'll find it. I prefer Nero.
P.S: Sorry for not updating the guide before, I actually forgot I started a guide and left it off....
. So well after gettin' a P.M., I came back and while surfing I realized I had to finish my guide and therefore I sat down and did it.
Well thanks for the reply
DialHot, Yea I'm oldschool, but I updated the guide! :P
